However, security at the Cort Theatre has now been increased after audience members at the play's debut ignored the "no photos" rule and took pictures of Clarke's naked figure on their phones, the New York Post reports.

The scene takes place when the characters played by Clarke and her co-star Cory Michael Smith return to her apartment after riding horses.

A source claimed that this was the moment that "titillated the audience" and revealed that there was a "huge contingent of fans of [Clarke's show] Game of Thrones" in attendance.

A spokesperson for the show - which is currently in previews and opens March 20 - declined to comment on the reports.
